COVID HERO | Brandon Mogrovejo

Brandon Mogrovejo is a first-generation Latino physician training in pediatrics. He makes comics with diverse, underrepresented characters in his spare time. He was born in a working class family to an Ecuadorian father and an Italian-American mother. Before becoming the first in his family to go to medical school at the Columbia Vagelos College of Physicians & Surgeons, Dr. Mogrevo attended college at Fordham University where he double-majored in African & African-American Studies and Biology, and minored in Theology. He is a very proud New Yorker who lives in his favorite borough, the Bronx, with his beautiful, ever-entertaining wife. His prior work includes a comic book on Type 1 Diabetes entitled “Liz Unity & Her Somatic Adventures,” which can be viewed at his Instagram @BrandMDrawings.
